    Where do you guys buy your frozen feeders?
    For the last year or so Ive bought from American Rodent Supply.
    Im not really fully satisfied with the product I recieve.
    I usually get ..
    50 med rats
    100 weanling rats
    100 adult mice
    25 crawler mice

    The product I recieve is very frost bitten, the eyes and limbs are white and dry. And I will usually lose a few rodents per bag because the stomachs come open, its not pleasant and I have to throw them away.
    Seems like this company has the best rates, but I dont know how long these rodents have been frozen and it seems like I could find a better option.

    I would be interested to know what companies you guys buy from and are happy with.

    I use loxahatcheerodents.com, the rats seem so fresh, when they are thawed they look like they were just killed and packaged.

    I entered in what i normally purchase...an estimated shipping cost of $90.
    Thats why i have to stick with rodent supply, they offer such cheap shipping for me at around $40.
    But i would love to try a new company.

    do you think that would help?
    Because I would buy from them if the shipping was lower... just dont know if that would help any..

    Try looking for a local breeder like at your next expo... Thats what I did found a guy that is dirt cheap, great product, and i only spend about $10 on gas to get them. Also trying throwing an want ad on craigslist in the pets section, and googleing f/t feeders in your area.

    ^^^ +1.

    I needed rats pretty bad when I got my BP's (Seems everyone I buy is due to eat). So I hit up craigslist found 2 people who where rat breeders. I called and was going to spend $40 for 50 frozen rat hoppers. The lady was VERY unpleasant. So I went with the other person. They are a couple that closed their store to work from home. Very nice, Very pleasant (Im demanding im there every 3-7 days for live). The price is pretty good going by what you listed above.
